Audi Q8 Overview | Should You Buy One In 2024? No! I would suggest a reliable less depreciating Lexus, Toyota or Mazda. German cars have lost their reliability due to complicated electronics and engineering.
You're completely missing the market....... people who can afford these cars dont really care that much about long term reliability, only short term. They're more interest in performance and tech.
@@johntheaccountant5594 The fact you're supposed to be accountant but don't understand the cashflow advantage and limiting risk of ownership is quite astounding..... Why would anyone want to own a depreciating asset with increasing repair/maintenance costs?! leasing makes so much more sense and the possibility of tax savings as an employee. Apparently to you, wasting a huge amount of capital on what is a waste lump of metal "at the end" is a good idea.
@@NickLiang Leasing makes sense for companies. Leasing makes sense for a complicated car full of electronics. however for a sensible family, one is better off buying a simple reliable second hand car outright. Reliable sensible basically excludes Mercedes, BMW Audi/VW etc. but would include Lexus, Toyota, Honda and Mazda.
@@johntheaccountant5594 Don't change the point of your original comment. This isnt about "sensible family cars", this is about the premium SUV market where you suggested leasing is a bad idea because you're left with "nothing at the end". People buying cars in this segment is not looking for a sensible family car, they are clearly car enthusiasts and want the associated performance/luxury. With that in mind, the absolute best approach is to lease, through a company or personal lease to avoid the cost of ownership of such a premium vehicle.

@@NickLiang You will find that 95% are leased or lease purchased. One might be able to "afford" the monthly payments but one has nothing at the end.
